I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints my entire life. For the past few years I have been involved in different aspects of the church such as different presidencies or leadership positions to plan activities and spiritual messages for the other girls of my age group. I have also been involved with genealogy for the past few years. I have been helping others find relatives and navigate Ancestry.com as well as FamilySearch.org. I love the satisfaction and accomplishment I feel when I help those in my church and my community.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints places a great emphasis on helping individuals to grow and become more. Every work assignment has an opportunity for the employee to learn or refine a new skill.

The work is often grueling because of its repetitive nature and shear bodom causing humdumness. However, it pays decent, with regular raises, and has a completely liquid schedule that you can modify based off your needs. The hours are few, but you wouldn't want to work more than that anyways. Great way to pick up extra cash.

The position calls for maintaining a positive and pleasant demeanor in order to add to the patrons spiritual experience. I enjoy that atmosphere while knowing that we are trained to handle issues with the general public that intrude on the property. We maintain both static and roaming posts and are required to wave at any person who enters the grounds of the facility. First-aid training is ongoing. I enjoy working for the church.

This isn't really a job, it is a volunteer effort with no pay but never ending benefits. In this there is a lot expected from you but nothing forced upon you. The hardest time is when nobody wants to listen to what you have to say but the most rewarding is when you see a friend you know change their lives

I volunteer as a youth leader in my church. I love it so much and I never want to stop doing it. I get to work with girls ages 12-18. I help plan activities, carry out events, teach about various topics, and I sometimes act as a support net for the girls going through tough times.

A day starts with 3 hours of studying and planning for those we were to teach. Then we would teach people and help them progress. If there was an empty spots in our day, it would be filled finding or help those in need. It was an experience I would not give up nor forget.

So long as you get your work done, you are pretty much left to your own devices. Management are really good people and correct problems as soon as they recognize them. The Human Resources department, on the other hand, has a problem with trust. It seems like they don't trust a lot of people or departments other than their own and, as such, a lot of the employees feel like they can't trust them.

Working in the temple is a wonderful place to be serving wonderful people.

Cafeteria Worker (Former Employee), Idaho Falls, ID – January 9, 2015

The wonderful people in the temple. It was great to prepare the food for the people who came to the cafeteria to eat there lunch or dinner meals. After the wonderful people eat there meal I also wash the dishes and the pot pans, Clean the kitchen up after we cook the different meals for the temple workers and people come to the temple to do temple work.

It is a good job where hard work is encouraged and opportunities for growth present themselves often. The leaders will do a lot to help you. The only difficult part of the job is that it isn't consistent every day. The best part of the job is the people that you work with are incredible and the friendships that are quickly formed.

Excellent volunteering opportunity to learn leadership, study skills, work ethic, and character

Volunteer Representative (Former Employee), CA – December 27, 2014

Pros: prepaid housing, good environment

Cons: 90+ hours of work weekly

Our days consisted of following a schedule that encouraged personal growth. This included exercise, studying materials, and personal contacting. Getting creative was difficult, but the resulting happiness compensated immensely.

Serving a Mission for the LDS Church was the best decision I ever made. Serving Christ every day brought me more joy than I had ever realized I was capable of feeling. "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God."

My mission was a great experience. I was able to develop more people skills as well as productive planning. We talked to as many people as we could, teaching about our Church, and would always be working alongside someone. Sometimes it was stressful when my coworker might disagree with me or the people we met weren't interested in listening, but I was able to learn Patience, Diligence, and Understanding with specific situations. The work was very rewarding, especially since it was Service work.
